ITS FOUNDERS AND ITS OBJECTS. 



The Society of the Cincinnati was established at the close of 
the Revolutionary wai", in May, 1783, by officers of the American 
army, just previous to its disbanding, in the cantonment at Newburgh, 
on the Hudson River. 

It vi'as designed to be a " Society of friends, to endure as long as 
they shall endure or any of their eldest male posterity, and, in failure 
thereof, the collateral branches who may be judged worthy of becom- 
ing its supporters and members." 

It was founded on certain " immutable jirinciples," viz., to preserve 
inviolate the rights and liberties secured by the war, to pi'omote and 
cherish union and national honor between tlie States, to render per- 
manent the cordial aifection subsisting among the officers, and espe- 
cially to assist such officers, or their families, as might be in need. 

The Society was divided into State Societies. 

All officers of the American army, who had resigned with honor, 
aftei: three years' service in the capacity of officers, or who had been 
deranged by the resolutions of Congress, upon the several reforms of 
the army, or who had continued to the end of the war, were entitled 
to become parties to this institution, on subscribing one month's pay, 
and signing their names to the general rules in their respective State 
societies; and the " eldest male brandies " of such officers as had died 
in the service were also entitled to membership on the same terms as 
children of actual members. 

By virtue of resolutions adopted in 1854 and 1856, each State society 
has now the right to regulate the terms and qualifications for the 
admission of members, " provided that admission be confined to the 
male descendants of original members (including collateral branches 
as contemplated by the original constitution) ; or to the male descend- 
ants of such officers of the army or navy as may have been entitled 
to admission, but who failed to avail themselves thereof, within the 
time limited by the constitution ; or to the male descendants of such 



officers of the army or navy of the Revokition as may have resigned 
with honor, or left the service with reputation, or to the male collateral 
relative of any officer who died in service without leaving issue." 

The male descendants of those who were members of State societies 
which have dissolved may also be admitted into existing societies, on 
such terms as those societies may prescribe. 

The sum of $700, by the present rules of the Massachusetts 
Society, is to be paid by each j)erson admitted under the above rules, 
whose ancestor was not a member of the Society. 

The Massachusetts Society was incorporated by Act of the Legisla- 
ture in 1806. It holds an annual meeting at Boston on the 4th 
of Jvdy. Its business affairs are transacted by the officers and a 
Standing Committee, who hold regular meetings in March and Novem- 
ber of each year, at which times applications for membership are 
considered, and aid is voted to beneficiaries out of the income of the 
Society's fund. 

Boston, July, 1880.

the Society, may be made to
